But somehow I'm responsible for slavery when my white 4x grandfather, who was a Mennonite and staunch abolitionist BEFORE it became mainstream, moved from Michigan to Kansas to take part in Bleeding Kansas, founding two towns which would be county seats, helping to increase the anti-slavery population of the soon-to-be state. He and his brother then joined the Union Army, he becoming a recruiter and his brother joining a Sharpe's rifle company (sharpshooters).

Great American heritage.
